Life is all about new encounters. In fact, the average person is likely to meet dozens of new people every single day. Although many of these interactions will be fleeting, some of them will be far more significant – and if the meeting leads to a business, financial or personal relationship, it’s important to know who you’re dealing with.
Unfortunately, not everyone is upfront and honest about their past and present circumstances. Whether you’re a landlord vetting new tenants, a manager hiring employees or a CEO looking for investment partners, that kind of hidden information can be hugely damaging to your business interests in the long run. Meanwhile, the fallout can be even more serious when it comes to romantic relationships. As a result, conducting a background check can help to remove that confusion and preclude that disappointment from the outset. Read on to learn more.
What is a background check?
You might imagine that background checks are only conducted by financial institutions or employers working in sensitive industries, such as education or intelligence. However, the truth is that a background check simply involves looking through an individual’s past to verify they are who they say they are. As such, they are appropriate in a wide range of situations.
Conducted by a team of highly experienced and discreet professionals, the background checks offered by M19 Solutions encompass a full sweep of a person’s current and past addresses, telephone records, credit data and employment history, as well as their social media activity. This all helps to paint a picture of who the person really is and gives you peace of mind that they’re worthy of your trust.
What does a background check show?
There are any number of things which a background check can uncover, each of which could be considered red flags and give you pause for thought when deciding whether to enter into a relationship with them. These include, but are not limited to:
- Criminal convictions
- Suspicious phone and email logs
- A history of deception regarding their demographic data
- Poor credit ratings
- Outstanding debts or loans
- Bankruptcy
- Driving license misdemeanours
- Gaps in employment
- Dismissals from previous jobs
- Controversial or illegal social media activity
Having access to this kind of information can make all the difference in ascertaining what kind of a person you’re dealing with. Armed with that insight, you can then proceed with confidence or nip the relationship in the bud if the indications point to an unfavourable outcome.
